Rejuvenation of the aging neck or reduction of excess fat can dramatically improve and restore a youthful appearance and self-confidence. A discussion with your EVOLV professional will help determine if liposuction alone or other related aesthetic options will best address your goals and budget.
Lower Face & Neck Liposuction
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery in Toledo, Ohio, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Barone specializes in Face Lipo, an advanced procedure to contour and rejuvenate the lower face and neck.
By skillfully removing excess fat deposits and precisely tightening the skin, this treatment enhances the jawline and profile, creating a youthful and captivating appearance. With gentle and selective ultrasonic techniques, the procedure releases fat cell attachments, resulting in a more defined neck and jawline. Experience transformative results at EVOLV Plastic Surgery.
THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
The loss of a youthful and attractive neckline can result from excess fat deposits in the neck and lower facial areas, either congenital or acquired. If the overlying skin is not severely loose and sagging, a minimally invasive procedure called Face Lipo can be performed to remove the excess fatty tissue, restoring an attractive jawline and higher neckline.
This procedure is typically done on patients under light general anesthesia through small access incisions hidden behind the ears or in the chin crease. Depending on the specific case, additional procedures such as Renuvion JPlasma or surgically tightening loose neck muscles (platysmaplasty) may be considered to create a higher decline and enhance the overall liposuction results.
How It Works
Excess fat is permanently removed in one treatment using a tiny tube called a cannula, which suctions the fat from target areas. This creates a more contoured and toned appearance.
What It Treats
- Heavy appearing necklines due to excessive fat accumulations under the skin
- Poor definition of the jawline and upper neck not due to severe skin laxity
- Early jowling of the lower cheeks
- A ‘low’ neckline caused by fat excess under the skin
- The ‘turkey gobble’ deformity of fat excess and loose tissues in the neck under the chin
Benefits
- A More Defined and Youthful Neckline: A balanced and ‘non-operated’ look without any obvious visible incisions.
- Thinner and More Contoured Neck and Jawline: Sculpting the jaw and upper neckline by gentle removal of excess fat and skin tightening.
- A Higher Appearing Neckline: Removal of fat excess lifts the neckline.
- Reduces Cheek Jowls: Removal of fat excess in the lower face highlights the natural jawline and reduces the appearance of lower cheek jowls.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: When indicated, can be combined with neck muscle tightening (platysmoplasty) or skin tightening procedures (minimal incision neck lift) to create a more complete rejuvenation of the lower face and a higher neckline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if liposuction of the lower face and neck is right for me?
What are other options besides liposuction of the neck and lower face?
The best and most natural appearing options to improve neck and lower facial contour will depend on your anatomy and individual goals. Removing and tightening the visible muscle bands in the neck (platysmoplaasty) or lifting and removing excess skin (neck lift or facelift) are other popular and very effective aesthetic considerations. Your EVOLV provider will review these options and your goals as well as before and after photos of other patients with you so that you can make the best and most informed decision for your treatment.
How much does liposuction of the neck and lower face typically cost?
Cost will depend on the number and extent of procedures planned, location and type of anesthesia, and total operative time. A complete and itemized review of all potential costs will be discussed with you by our EVOLV Patient Coordinator as well as any financing options if needed.
Are all liposuction of the neck and lower face procedures the same?
Definitely not! Liposuction, or the removal of excess fat from under the skin, can vary greatly depending on the type of device, technique, age and health of the patient, and location treated. But as with any aesthetic surgical or non-surgical procedure, the results are most affected by the training and experience of the service provider.
What is the expected recovery time after liposuction of the neck and lower face?
Recovery or downtime after a liposuction of the lower face and neck procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skincare program, extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.
How long does the result last after liposuction of the neck and face?
Liposuction of neck and lower face results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning with volume replacement and skin resurfacing provide the most natural looking and long-lasting facial rejuvenation results. A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional liposuction of the neck and face operative techniques.
